Longmont man reports he found his missing gun between couch cushions

LONGMONT -- A man who told police he lost his .380 semiautomatic pistol while riding his motorized scooter through a north Longmont neighborhood on Jan. 16 told police he found the gun between some couch cushions in his home on Wednesday.

Cmdr. Jeff Satur said police volunteers and a police K-9 searched the man's route along Mountain View Avenue, Pace Street along the east sidewalk, 17th Avenue west from Pace to Alpine Street and the bike path along the Rough and Ready Ditch to Independence Drive, but did not recover the gun.

The man, who has a concealed carry weapons permit and is disabled and uses a motorized scooter to get around, believed he dropped the gun out of its holster somewhere along his route.
